He was a whistleblower at a time when whistleblowing would have meant his job and his career.
Even now with all of the protections, it's not a really good idea to be a whistleblower.
Cut him some slack.
Besides Nixon was a liberal scumbag that gave us price controls, relations with commie China, the beginning of the end of Taiwan, Medicare, and other inane and socialistic nonsense.

Granted, Reagan pardoned him.

You have forgotten we are not supposed to acknowledge Nixon's flaws. He was a saint don't you know.

How did Nixon get Medicare enacted 3 years before he was elected?

He was a whistleblower at a time when whistleblowing would have meant his job and his career. Felt was leaking because Nixon didn't appoint him to replace Hoover at FBI.
Some "whistle blower"...
